Subdural Empyema in a 13‐Year‐Old Male With History of Head Trauma: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports
Subdural empyema is rare but serious intracranial infection characterized by accumulation of pus between dura mater and arachnoid layer. The spread of infection is typically originating from sinusitis, otitis media, or osteomyelitis.

Predictors of 30-Day Mortality and Morbidity Following Craniotomy for Traumatic Brain Injury: An ACS NSQIP Database Analysis

Neurotrauma Reports
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death among trauma patients. Identifying preoperative factors that predict postoperative outcomes in such patients can guide surgical decision-making.

Effectiveness of Temporal Augmentation Using a Calvarial Onlay Graft during Pterional Craniotomy

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2016
Temporal hollowing occurs to varying degrees after pterional craniotomy. The most common cause of temporal hollowing is a bony defect of the pterional and temporal regions due to the resection of the sphenoid ridge and temporal squama for adequate ...

Emergent modular neural control drives coordinated motor actions. [PDF]

, 2019
A remarkable feature of motor control is the ability to coordinate movements across distinct body parts into a consistent, skilled action. To reach and grasp an object, 'gross' arm and 'fine' dexterous movements must be coordinated as a single action ...

Delayed brain and spine migration of a retained SEEG electrode fragment: An unexpected complication

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a well‐established technique for localizing epileptogenic zones in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, including children. While considered safe, rare but serious complications can occur.

Graded extent of hippocampal resection is related to neuropsychological outcomes in temporal lobe epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Surgical resection for epilepsy seeks to maximize seizure freedom while minimizing new neurocognitive impairments. Tailored resections guided by anatomoelectroclinical (AEC) hypotheses offer the possibility of sparing parts of the hippocampus.

Intracranial electroencephalographic approaches in the intensive care unit: Safety, feasibility, and coverage

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Nonconvulsive epileptic activity is common after acute brain injury and contributes to neuronal injury and poor outcomes. Although intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) improves detection compared with surface EEG (suEEG), it currently relies on focal recordings of epileptic dynamics.

Arterial to jugular‐bulb lactate difference in patients undergoing elective brain tumor craniotomy

Physiological Reports
Hyperlactatemia is common during tumor craniotomy, but the underlying pathophysiology is unclear. This study measured simultaneous arterial and jugular‐bulb lactate concentrations in patients undergoing brain tumor craniotomy to investigate the ...

Use of the Neurological Pupil Index to Predict Postoperative Visual Function After Resection of a Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma: A Case Report. [PDF]

, 2019
The Neurological Pupil index (NPi) is a standardized method for evaluating pupil reactivity that removes inter-examiner variability. Changes in the NPi can predict clinical deterioration in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, its use to ...
